Quick Start Guide

The following Evony guide applies only if the game is started from scratch, no resources spent.

Only a basic knowledge of the game is required. If you are brand new to this game, see the other beginner guides.

The following Evony guide, if followed carefully, will tell you how to earn a level 4 town hall and a second town in under 3 hours. The basic concept is to follow the quest line in the most efficient possible way. That means no unnecessary resource buildings until after we have exhausted all possible quest routes. Remember: any buildings that take 5 minutes or less can be sped up for free.
